Goodell: the anti-Rozelle.
Since he got the job, those of us who paid attention to the NFL could see that Goodell was in over his head. It was we like in every situation he would ask himself “what’s the worst thing i could do now?” And then do it. We asked “he’s the worst commissioner of any major sport ever, a real embarrassment. Why does he still have a job?” The answer was always “the NFL is making more money than ever under him, that’s all the owners care about.” It’s like giving a three year old a gun and telling him to guard the store. For a while you say “sure it seems dangerous but hey, nobody’s robbing us anymore!” Until he shoots someone by accident. Then you realize that you really messed up with that plan but it’s too late.
